6. A Savage Reunion
Most of the moments on this list are within at least the latest millennium if not simply the past few years. However, this doesn’t mean crying is a new concept in pro wrestling, and in fact, it highlighted some of the most incredible moments in WWE history for quite some time now, including perhaps the most heartwarming incident in company history. WrestleMania VII took place on March 24, 1991, and one of the biggest matches of the evening was a retirement bout between The Ultimate Warrior and Randy Savage. Savage had been a much-hated heel for years, primarily due to his treatment of his former girlfriend, Elizabeth. Savage and Liz broke up some time ago at this point, but for whatever reason, Elizabeth was spotted in the crowd shortly before Randy’s big match began.
Savage lost the match to Warrior after an epic battle that fans will never forget, but the real story took place after Warrior quietly made his exit to take in his victory. Savage remained in the ring to be berated by his new manager, Sherri Martel, who was furious over his loss. Sherri attacked Savage with her heels, causing Liz to run from the crowd and save her former love. Savage and Liz soon locked eyes, and within seconds both had tears in their eyes, overcome by the reunion. The couple then embraced, causing dozens of fans at ringside to turn into blubbering messes, as well.
